=== NoOpenCanopyAI MOD (BETA) ===

WWII time Navy planes had sliding type canopies.
Pilot open that canopy when take-off from a carrier or land to a carrer,
and this behavier is implemented in IL-2 1946 AI.

Early time Navy Jets are the same... like FJ-3, F9F.

But F-8 Crusader or F-4 PhantomII, they have hinge up/down type canopies.
Those canopies weren't opened when take-off/land.
I make this F-8, F-4 behavier in AI.
F-8, F-4's AI at first open the canopy on carrier deck, and close it on a Catapult.

This is BETA version.
I hope this MOD will be merged into SAS AI, Engines, Hotkeys & Carriers Mod in the future.
And this MOD needs plane MOD side implement.
I hope Jets MOD makers to implement this by themselves.
This version contains F-8 class files replacing, but this is only sample.

About F-4 MOD, at that ver1.2 contains this MOD and inplemented.
F-4 MOD ver1.2's NoOpenCanopyAI is the same version of this.

This MOD based on "SAS AI, Engines, Hotkeys & Carriers Mod v2.4" and needs it.

Download - (link deleted) - Today's il2freemodding F-4 PhantomII or F-8 Crusader Hotfix contain this MOD. Get from them.

For Jets MOD makers...
Implementing this NoOpenCanopyAI is very easy.
In your plane's Java code, only write this

Code: [Select]

public class F_foobar extends Scheme1
    implements TypeSupersonic, TypeFighter, TypeBNZFighter, TypeFighterAceMaker, TypeStormovik, TypeGSuit, TypeNoOpenCanopyFly
{
"implements TypeNoOpenCanopyFly ".

Thank you very much for this! will do soon!

Actually in the existing code, if you implement TypeSupersonic (allowing sound barrier transition) and TypeFastJet (for true supersonic jets with high landing/take-off speeds, increases threshold for gear/flap failure), it does the same thing without the need for a new interface.

Just tested but I can't got it working: canopy of F4 AI still remain opened and my jammed at opening when starting from carrier!

I'll second that Robhans, and I would love to know where you got the 2 files that do the same thing for the F4 and the F8, I have never been able to solve the open canopy problem for my new jets.
